Quick answer: No, you probably have to wait 6-8 weeks for that, but it  
probably won't be changing in that time...

A longer answer:

It hs not been finalied, it is a W3C Candidate Recommendation, meaning the  
Working Group thinks it is done and are looking for implementation  
experience.

They have basically finished with that phase, and are ready to request  
that it be a Proposed Recommendation - which means the Working Group is  
ure they are done, and it is up to the W3C Director to suggest this be  
released, get feedback from the W3C members, and presumably release it.

While it is not formally a done deal at this stage, it is pretty rare for  
a Proposed Recommendation not to move forward to recommendation. In the  
normal course of affairs it might be formally released in 6-8 weeks.

Again, normally, the spec doesn't change from this point, although it has  
happened before and is possible. If so, you would also expect to wait  
longer.

My hunch is that this is unlikely, and that in about 8 weeks you can  
expect a formal release that looks pretty much like what you see today in  
the spec, but there is still a possibility that it doesn't happen like  
that.
